THE UNEXPECTED BEAUTY OF BRUNY ISLAND


 This is an incredible view from my mothers garden on Bruny Island. The garden is filled with wild growing flowers & native grasses & overlooks this amazing bay. The variety of scenery & plants on Bruny Island is surprising & lovely.


Here is one of many stunning rock formations that are scattered along the coast of South Bruny Island.


The Breathtaking Bruny Island Lighthouse is one of the oldest in not only Tasmania but Australia also.


This rock sculpture has been slowly built by local Bruny Island folk, over time passers by have added rocks to the piles when they go walking on Grassy point on South Bruny Island.

THE WATER IS THE PLACE TO BE ON BRUNY ISLAND


 Dolphins are frequently spotted off the coast of Bruny Island you can see them jumping in the bay at Adventure Bay. They swim along next to local boats along the coast. I even know a man who's dog swims with the dolphins.


Bruny Island has some of Tasmania's most beautiful surf beaches & Cloudy Bay even has its own surf
competition.


Bruny Island is home to some lovely wild ducks who make their homes on ponds & in rivulets.
